Sufganiyot (Hanukkah Donuts) with Ginger-Lime Curd Recipe
"Hanukkah donuts, called sufganiyot, are traditionally filled with fruit jam. This variation mixes things up, pairing the sugarcoated pastries with a sweet and zesty ginger-lime curd. What to buy: Kosher-keepers can substitute almond milk and nondairy margarine for the milk and butter if serving the donuts after a meat meal. Special equipment: You will need a 2-1/2-inch round cutter to stamp out the dough rounds. You will also need a candy/fat thermometer for frying the donuts, as well as a 12- to 18-inch pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch round tip to fill them. Game plan: The dough can be made in a stand mixer fitted with a hook attachment if you prefer. Place the yeast and sugar in the stand mixer bowl and proceed with the recipe, mixing at medium speed until the dough comes together and forms a ball that is smooth, shiny, and elastic, about 5 minutes. When deep-frying the donuts, make sure the oil stays at a constant temperature, adjusting your stove’s heat as necessary.
